EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures a woman in drag as a page in the enchanting world of Victorian stage theatre. The intricate details of her costume, from the elaborate hat to the delicate lace collar, transport us back to the 19th century when theatrical performances were a grand spectacle.
The artist, Thomas Hailes Lacy, was not only a talented actor and playwright but also a theatrical manager and publisher. His work in capturing historical and dramatic costumes in 200 plates provides us with a glimpse into the extravagant world of Victorian fashion and entertainment.
In this particular print, we see a woman embodying the role of a page with grace and poise. Her transformation into this character is seamless, blurring the lines between gender roles on stage. The artistry involved in creating such detailed ensembles for performances speaks to the dedication and creativity of those involved in bringing these characters to life.
As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the beauty and complexity of Victorian theatre and how it continues to inspire artists and audiences alike. The legacy of performers like this woman in drag as a page lives on through prints like these that capture their talent for generations to come.
